Through the years we’ve seen Christians group themselves into ‘holy huddles’ that leave little room for new friends to join them in meaningful ways. That’s not God’s plan!
In this episode, we continue in the Conversations series. You’ll hear two different conversations: The first is a couple of friends who’ve been in a small group together for quite a while… and the second one is between some couples in a true missional community. They are very different conversations. Pay attention to who and what is the focus of their groups and life together.
In This Episode You’ll Learn:
- Why our traditional ‘small groups’ are not what God intended.
- 6 important distinctions between small groups and missional communities.
- God’s amazing hope and desire for his family.
- A clear illustration of how people in a missional community see their lives on mission.
From this episode:
“Our co-mission as the Church is to lovingly invite the people God has purposely brought into our lives to join us in community as together we share the story of the gospel, make disciples, and learn to live as an extended family following Jesus together. This is not a fad or the latest church growth technique or a new name for small groups or cell groups. It is rediscovering the church as ‘oikos’—an extended family on mission—where everyone is important and has a vital role to play.“
